Nuclear Medicine
Cancer Diagnostic Imaging in bhubaneswar | Nuclear Medicine
As one of the widest spectrum healthcare providers in India, Manipal Hospitals' through its Department of Nuclear Medicine deals with providing comprehensive, advanced diagnostic imaging and interventional treatment services to patients. Imaging in nuclear medicine (endoradiology) can be thought of as similar to radiology which uses X-rays, but it is done from the inside out. This allows doctors to view things that are otherwise difficult or impossible to see.
OUR STORY
Know About Us
Why Manipal?
Nuclear medicine is an extremely specialized branch of medicine that requires expert skills, advanced technology and carefully handled clinical materials. Manipal Hospitals' ensures the safe and effective use of nuclear medicine through its team of highly skilled endoradiologists and state of the art labs. While nuclear medicine procedures exist well within the safety standards, they are not recommended unless they are necessary and beneficial to the patient.
Treatment & Procedures

This test is mainly to look at the blood supply of the heart, both during exercise and rest. In some cases, if the stress part of the scan looks normal, rest scan may not be performed. Can have light breakfast not later than 6.30 am (2 idlys/sandwich). No coffee /tea/chocolates/caffeine-containing substances for 12-24 hours. Should stop medications…
Myocardial Infusion Scan TMT Stress-Instructions
This test is mainly to look at the blood supply of the heart, both during exercise and rest. In some cases, if the stress part of the scan looks normal, rest scan may not be performed.
Renal Scan-DTPA & EC-Instructions
A small dose of radioactive injection is given IV and initial images are acquired for 30mins. Many patients may require a delayed Images after 2 hours(will be decided by the doctor after seeing the initial scan)
Thyroid Scan
Thyroid Scan is a specialized imaging procedure for examining the thyroid, gland that controls metabolism. During this scan a radioactive iodine or 99mTc tracer is used to examine the structure and function of the thyroid gland.
Bone Scan
A bone scan is a nuclear imaging test used to help diagnose problems with bones. It safely uses a very small amount of radioactive drug called a radiopharmaceutical. This scan is done in case of unexplained skeletal pain, bone infection, the spread of a tumour to bones or any bone injury that can't be seen on a standard X-ray.
Nuclear medicine and imaging are normally used to detect, treat and monitor cancer in patients, but it can also be used for advanced diagnostic scanning and the treatment of some non-oncological conditions. To ascertain the necessity, the department works with experts from other specializations like oncologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, neurologists etc. In every case where endoradiology is a necessity, the team at Manipal Hospitals strictly follows the doctrine of "As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)"
Facilities & Services
In endoradiology, radiopharmaceuticals are introduced inside the patient either intravenously or orally. The radiopharmaceutical substances are detected by external gamma cameras to produce diagnostic imaging. - Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) - Positron emission tomography (PET) - Myocardial perfusion scan (Brain scans) - Whole body bone scan - Pulmonary ventilation and perfusion (V/Q) scan - Thyroid scan - Parathyroid scanInterventional Nuclear Medicine - Radionuclide therapy (used to treat some cancers and hypothyroidism) - Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) - Chemotherapy
Manipal Hospitals is committed to the provision of the best possible care to all its patients and to build long term relationships that foster a stronger and healthier community. The patients served by our nuclear medicine department is a testament to this.
